Recenzii
“Identity in a Secular Age adopts a fresh approach to the important subject of the interrelations of science and religion. Many of its chapters move the spotlight onto the public understanding of these issues and demonstrate the importance of the role of the media—books, periodicals, television—in disseminating the topic to a wide variety of nonelite audiences. This is indeed a welcome collection.”—Geoffrey Cantor, University of Leeds
“Fern Elsdon-Baker and Bernard Lightman have refreshed the discussion of ‘science and religion.’ Shifting attention from intellectual elites and conflicting belief systems, their contributors embrace the methods of history and the social sciences, including social psychology, to gain access to popular perceptions of scientific and religious authority. Cutting-edge in its application of social identity theory, this is an exciting and original book.”—John Hedley Brooke, Harris Manchester College, University of Oxford
“Building on the pioneering research of a handful of earlier scholars who explored the relationship(s) between science and religion, the contributors to this volume, primarily historians and social scientists, push the discussion beyond traditional boundaries to explore public perceptions and media portrayals. All students of science and religion will find valuable insights in this volume.” —Ronald L. Numbers, University of Wisconsin-Madison
